Always ensure the lid is properly fitted and all 4 screws tightened 

-

 

Always ensure the cable gland is sealing against the cable to maintain the IP (NEMA) rating  

 

2.2.

 

Dimensions 

 

Figure 2.1. 

The 4 screws for the lid are captive and must be tightened to maintain the seal.  
The holes for the mounting screws in the base are directly behind the screws for the lid.  

The box must not be drilled as this would invalidate the IP rating  
Allow sufficient space at both sides for the cable entry.  

The Nylon 66 cable glands are designed for ROUND cables.  
The waterproof entry and strain relief will seal to a higher rating than the enclosure.  

Cable diameter should be between 4mm (0.16”) and 7mm (0.27”)

Cabling  

2.3.1.

 

Power Connection  

Two power supply options are available : 
COND SGA/A:   

220/230VAC, 50/60Hz  

   110/120VAC, 

50/60Hz 

 

 

 

 

5W Max. 

COND SGA/A & COND SGA/D:         18-24V DC, 5W  

(approx. 150mA  

fully loaded)  

 

 
NOTE:  The COND COND SGA/A can be powered from AC or DC sources whichever is available.  
 

It is also possible to connect BOTH AC and DC simultaneously for security of power supply.  

 

Figure 2.2. 

Standard mains 2 or 3 core cable PVC sheathed (unscreened) cable will suffice for the power.  

 
NOTE:  Connect the appropriate power to the COND SGA. For AC powering observe the correct transformer 
jumper connections as shown in Figure 2.2 above. (This diagram is also provided inside the lid).
